At a reception complete with a good amount of champagne, when he is just stealing delicacies from tables while acting as a “colonel”, he has a grandiose idea: to found the Carity League tha will help the less fortunate of Naple. He has no idea that this will bring him into the biggest trouble of his life. A millionaire woman asks him to hide his son, accused of murder.
